Looked like a slap to me

I saw this play too. I would have ruled a slap. Foul ball, try again.

I think some umps don't like the current rule for numerous reasons:

1) because they can't tell the difference
2) because they don't know the difference
3) because they won't take the time to learn the difference
4) because they focus on the pitch too much and don't pay enough attention to the batter
5) all of the above
